Black Bean Salsa

Tue, 22 Apr 2003 20:05:01 -0400

I didn't know what to call this so I called it Black Bean Salsa. This is a VERY good salsa and SO easy to make. It makes A LOT of it as well. So it's good for cookouts and dinners. My mom got this recipe from a friend and we made this together that night. It was mandatory that we got to the grocery store to get the ingredients for this. I absolutely loved it! I also find that it's very healthy and high in fiber. I enjoy my salsa with some WOW tortilla chips. . . or even on an egg omelette. My mom and I nearly ate half of it before we even chilled it. Or you can put it this way.. . we went through a whole bag of tortilla chips. lol. Enjoy! (I do not know how many servings this makes, all I know is that it makes a WHOLE lot of salsa. And the prep time is estimated) -- posted by GloriaAnn

Black Bean and Couscous Salad

Fri, 09 May 2003 20:05:14 -0400

I found this one on allrecipes and tweaked it a bit. It's a wonderful salad for a cookout or potluck, and leftovers keep well (it makes quite a large batch). Don't let the long ingredient list scare you off, it's actually very simple to make. For any ingredients with a range of amounts, the least amount is what I like to use, the greatest amount is what the original recipe calls for. This is a vegan-friendly recipe if veggie broth is substituted for chicken broth. -- posted by Muffin Goddess

Roasted Vegetable Black Bean Salsa

Mon, 19 Jul 2004 19:59:32 -0400

It is summer time and I wanted to use some of the garden vegetables. I found a black bean salsa recipe (#60617) on recipezaar. It sounded good, but I made roasted potatoes the night before and I had zucchini and yellow squash, onions and a green pepper at home, so I combined the one recipe with the other. Oh did it turn out well. It tasted better that most salsas that I get at restaurants. It isn't that spicy, but very flavorful and perfect for the summer time. It is great with tortilla chips and beer. This recipe can probably be halved easily. -- posted by Karen in St. Louis

Black Bean and Millet Salad

Wed, 23 Nov 2005 11:12:38 -0500

Millet a wonderful grain,that most think of as bird food. Millet is highly nutritious, non-glutinous and like buckwheat and quinoa, is not an acid forming food so is soothing and easy to digest. In fact, it is considered to be one of the least allergenic and most digestible grains available and it is a warming grain so will help to heat the body in cold or rainy seasons and climates. Millet is mildly sweet, nut-like flavor and contains many beneficial nutrients. It is nearly 15% protein, contains high amounts of fiber, B-complex vitamins including niacin, thiamin, and riboflavin, the essential amino acid methionine, lecithin, and some vitamin E. It is high in the minerals iron, magnesium, phosphorous, and potassium. So eat your millet! The seeds are also rich in phytochemicals, including Phytic acid, which is believed to lower cholesterol, and Phytate, which is associated with reduced cancer risk. -- posted by ~Rita~

Ultimate Seven Layer Dip

Tue, 04 Sep 2007 12:03:29 -0400

Most versions of this party classic assume that guests won't notice that the layers are messy and the flavors are tired. Jessica Davis has gone to great lengths to develop a dip that doesn't have those problems. This one takes quite a bit of preparation, but if you decide to make it, don't "cut corners" or you'll be disappointed. It's important, especially for us Zaarites who love to meddle with recipes, to follow the directions and the ingredient list precisely. Enjoy! -- posted by GREG IN SAN DIEGO

This is one of the recipes I keep in my camping recipe book because it's so easy to make ahead & then plate when we're ready to snack. Cook time reflects marinating time. -- posted by **Tinkerbell**

Southwestern Summertime Quinoa Salad

Mon, 14 Jul 2008 17:22:02 -0400

Wanted a refreshing wholesome side dish to accompany some spicy Mexican meatloaf, and this is what happened. Use a LARGE bowl to mix as it makes quite a significant amount. With the seasoning amounts given, the predominant tastes are the lime, cumin, and cilantro. My family doesn't like spicy things, so there isn't much kick to it, so you could probably double the chili powder, increase the other seasonings, and add some cayenne if you desire. Could also be made with long grain rice if quinoa is unavailable. -- posted by Stylobille24

Corn and Black Bean Macaroni Salad - Tex Mex

Wed, 29 Apr 2009 12:23:11 -0400

Chill a beer for this nice and spicy dish! The elbows should be cooked al dente in well salted water to prevent broken mushy noodles. Do salt the water liberally. (2 teaspoons is not a lot once mixed with the rest of the ingredients) Seasons the pasta and avoids father salting in the recipe. This can be eaten as a side or a main balanced meal. I opted for yogurt and smart balance for better health. But you can use sour cream and mayo. -- posted by ~Rita~
